Acid crisis characterized by acid accumulation and/or low pH is a common reason for the failure of anaerobic digestion (AD), which is usually applied for wastewater and waste treatment. Acid-tolerant methanogens are rarely reported to be active in the artificial anaerobic digester. In this study, we observed that the thermophilic methanogenesis by ...

We sought to identify tumor-secreted factors that altered the frequency of MDSCs and correlated with clinical outcomes in advanced melanoma patients. We focused our study on several of the many factors involved in the expansion and mobilization of MDSCs. These were identified by measuring circulating concentrations of 13 cytokines and growth factor...

Purpose: The EF-14 trial demonstrated that adding tumor treating fields (TTFields) to maintenance temozolomide (TMZ) significantly extends progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for newly-diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of TTFields and TMZ for newly-diagnosed GBM from the US healt...

Long-term (> 5 years) bladder cancer survivors represent a distinct subgroup of bladder cancer patients and information about the causes of death in this subgroup is limited. The aim of this study was to review the causes of death in long-term bladder cancer survivors. The Surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) database was used to analy...

Introduction Successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) saves lives in the acute phase of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and improves the mid-term prognosis. Whether that benefit remains significant in very long-term follow-up and is associated with total ischaemic time (TIT), especially in survivors of the acute phase...

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is recommended to treat intermediate/advanced stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the overall survival among initially TACE-treated patients varies significantly. The clinical characterization of long-term survival following TACE remains uncertain. We sought to identify clinical parameters and tr...

Objective: To report the long-term survival of a patient with maternal plasmacytoid dendritic cell tumor (BPDCN) treated by allo-HSCT. Methods: The patient was diagnosed by skin infiltration, bone marrow involvement, skin biopsy and bone marrow cytology. CD4, CD56, and CR123 were expressed in tumor cells. The first complete remission (CR1) was achi...

In recent years, the use of surgically implanted biological aortic valves has been favored over mechanical prosthesis in patients between 50 and 70 years of age. However, outcomes on long-term survival are contradictory. The objective of this study was to determine if patients with mechanical valves have worse long-term survival than patients with ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the risk of significant polyethylene (PE) wear 10 years or more after implantation of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using electron beam-irradiated highly cross-linked PE component. All patients operated between 2001 and 2004 for implantation of this particular TKA in the two participating centers were el...

Despite extensive knowledge and research in cardiac health there is limited understanding in how a cardiac arrest influences the life of long-term survivors. The aim of this study was to explore how long-term survivors of a cardiac arrest adjusted to their new reality, expressed in their re-storied narratives. Seven individuals surviving a cardiac ...
